Jonathan Jean-Baptiste writes in an opinion piece for USA Today that the Black community must stand in solidarity with immigrants as immigration enforcement intensifies, and that the struggles for social justice faced by Black Americans and immigrants are closely connected.
Jonathan Jean-Baptiste argues that the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown is a continuation of the long history of surveillance and overpolicing experienced by Black Americans, and that the Black community must become more involved in fighting for immigrant justice to create a safer environment for Black children.
The concept of liberty and justice in the United States is selective and conditional, with marginalized communities being targeted and the ruling class exploiting their economic insecurity to manufacture consent and maintain their power and control.
